“What Is The Transgender Status of My Legal Son?” Part 3

May 13, 2023 Skip

So, in Part 1, I asked “that question” and the Grandson’s teacher refused to directly answer my question.

Guess Who Wants Public Schools to Hide Their Curriculum?

April 10, 2022 Ann Marie Banfield

When Nicole Solas asked to see what her child would learn in Kindergarten, she was sued by the teachers union. It makes you wonder why they want to hide this kind of information from parents.

There is something to be said for standing up for your Principles. Even if it means getting knocked down by the Judicial system by Parents no longer willing to allow THEIR children to be abused by these teachers. Steve has the NH Teachers willing to be those Lawsuit Dummies here (“Here is a List of NH Teachers “Willing to Go To Jail” for Teaching CRT“).

This Won’t Make Any Points With Progressives

May 31, 2021 Skip

I’m working hard to convince TMEW to homeschool the Grandson. She’s agreed, as a former teacher, to do a test trial over the summer as more and more I keep coming across material that Reading, Writing, and ‘Rithmetic are the core academic priorities.

THIS SHOULD SCARE THE CRAP out of Parents with Elementary Age Kids in Public Schools

I’ve been putting up “Man in the street” interviews ever since our humble beginnings. And I am never surprised by how illiterate young people are about our history and how the Government (which DEPENDS on citizens knowing its form) works.

Public School Liberal Bias – Capitalism and Fathers are Racist…

September 11, 2019
Warning: Attempt to read property "author_category" on bool in /nas/content/live/granitegrok/wp-content/plugins/publishpress-authors-pro/lib/vendor/publishpress/publishpress-authors/src/core/Classes/Post_Editor.php on line 317

Nickel And Dimed Is Out

September 26, 2018January 12, 2011 Steve MacDonald

Once you get past the misleading headline from this morning’s Union Leader, ‘Nickel and Dimed’ Banned in Bedford, (it was not banned form Bedford, it was removed from the public school finance class curriculum) you will find that while the book is out, some of the stupidity remains.
